Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
March 31, 2000
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
-------------------
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Union
Bankshares Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company"). Significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
The information contained in the financial statements is unaudited and
does not include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair
presentation of the results of the interim periods presented have been
made. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2000
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 2000.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's 1999 Annual Report to Shareholders. Certain previously reported
amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

3. Earnings Per Share
------------------
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Weighted
average shares used for the computation of basic EPS were 7,494,470 and
7,528,729 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. Diluted EPS
is computed using the weighted number of common shares outstanding during
the period, including the effect of dilutive potential common shares
outstanding attributable to stock options. Weighted average shares used
for the computation of diluted EPS were 7,499,214 and 7,645,214 for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.
4. SEGMENT REPORTING DISCLOSURES
-----------------------------
Union Bankshares Corporation has two reportable segments: its traditional
full service community banks and its mortgage loan origination business.
The community bank business includes four banks, which provide loan,
deposit, investment, and trust services to retail and commercial customers
throughout their locations in Virginia. Through its mortgage subsidiary,
the Company provides a variety of mortgage loan products in a multi-state
market. These loans are originated and sold principally in the secondary
market through purchase commitments from investors, which subject the
company to only de minimis market risk.
Profit and loss is measured by net income after taxes including realized
gains and losses on the Company's investment portfolio. The accounting
policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies. Intersegment transactions are
recorded at cost and eliminated as part of the consolidation process.
Both of the Company's reportable segments are service based. While the
banks offer a distribution and referral network for the mortgage services,
the mortgage company does not offer a similar network for the banks due
largely to the lack of overlapping geographic markets. Another major
distinction is the source of income. The mortgage business is a fee based
business while the banks are driven principally by net interest income.
Information about reportable segments and reconciliation of such
information to the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2000
and March 31, 1999 follows:

5. RECENT ACCOUNTING STATEMENTS
----------------------------
In June 1998 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for
hedging activities. It requires that a company recognize all derivative
instruments as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance
sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. The accounting for
changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of
the derivative and the resulting designation. In June of 1999 the FASB
issued SFAS 137, "Accounting for derivative instruments hedging
activities--deferral of the effective date of FASB Statement 133". SFAS
137 delayed the effective date of SFA3133 until fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000. As such, the effective date for the Company will be
January 1, 2001. The impact of adopting SFAS 133 will be dependent on the
specific derivative instruments in place at the date of adoption. At this
time management believes the adoption of this new standard will not have a
material impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the
Company.
6. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
--------------------------
Certain statements in this report may constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995. Although the Company believes that its expectations with
respect to certain forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable
assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and
operations, there can be no assurance that actual results, performance or
achievements of the Company will not differ materially from any future
results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Union Bankshares Corporation (the "Company") is a multi-bank holding
company organized under Virginia law which provides financial services through
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Union Bank & Trust Company, Northern Neck State
Bank, Rappahannock National Bank, the Bank of Williamsburg, Union Investment
Services, Inc., and Mortgage Capital Investors, Inc. The four subsidiary banks,
Union Bank & Trust Company, Northern Neck State Bank, Rappahannock National Bank
and the Bank of Williamsburg are full service retail commercial banks offering a
wide range of banking and related financial services, including demand and time
deposits, as well as commercial, industrial, residential construction,
residential mortgage and consumer loans. Union Investment Services Inc., is a
full service discount brokerage company, which offers a full range of investment
services and sells mutual funds, bonds and stocks. Mortgage Capital Investors,
Inc. provides a wide array of mortgage products through its 13 offices in
Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, Connecticut, and South Carolina.
The Company's primary trade area stretches from Rappahannock County to
Fredericksburg, south to Hanover County, east to Williamsburg and throughout the
Northern Neck area of Virginia. The Corporate Headquarters is located in Bowling
Green, Virginia. Through its banking subsidiaries, the Company operates 29
branches in its primary trade area. In addition to the primary banking trade
area, Mortgage Capital Investors, Inc. expands the Company's mortgage
origination business to four additional states.
In February 1999 the Company opened the Bank of Williamsburg in temporary
headquarters in the Williamsburg Crossing Shopping Center. In March 2000 the
Bank of Williamsburg moved into its permanent location at 5125 John Tyler
Parkway, which should enhance its continued growth in this community. Deposits
have increased significantly since the move, and we expect this bank to achieve
monthly profitability during the fourth quarter of 2000. In addition, the
company's mortgage subsidiary, Mortgage Capital Investors Inc., has opened a
Williamsburg office in the space formerly occupied by the Bank.
Management's discussion and analysis is presented to aid the reader in
understanding and evaluating the financial condition and results of operations
of the Company. The analysis focuses on the consolidated financial statements,
the footnotes thereto, and the other financial data herein. Highlighted in the
discussion are material changes from prior reporting periods and any
identifiable trends affecting the Company. Amounts are rounded for presentation
purposes, while the percentages presented are computed based on unrounded
amounts.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Net income for the first quarter of 2000 was $1.4 million, down from $1.8
million for the same period in 1999. The decrease in net income for the period
was caused primarily by a decrease in gains on the sale of loans of $1.4
million, which more than offsets a $1.0 million increase in net interest income.
The net interest income increase reflects the growth of the core banking
business, while the decline in the gain on sale of loans is reflective of the
effect of higher mortgage rates on mortgage loan production volumes. Also
included in net income was a decrease in the provision for loan losses of
$198,000 from the first quarter of 1999. Diluted earnings per share amounted to
$.19 in the first quarter of 2000, as compared to $.24 in the first quarter of
1999. The
11
Company's annualized return on average assets for the first quarter of 2000 was
.68% as compared to .94% a year ago. The Company's annualized return on average
equity totaled 8.41% and 9.88% for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively.
Net income from the Company's community banking segment increased from
approximately $1.7 million in the first quarter of 1999 to over $2.2 million in
the first quarter of 2000. Continued growth in existing markets, as well as the
performance of acquired and denovo banks and branches and previously implemented
initiatives to consolidate backoffice functions are reflected in improved
operating efficiencies and contributed to the improvement in the profitability
of the community banking segment.
Rising interest rates, coupled with continued strong loan demand and
competition for deposits, have continued to compress the net interest margin.
Deposit competition has heightened as banks, seeking to fund this loan growth,
have offered higher rates on deposits, often repricing their liabilities more
rapidly than their assets. In addition to increasing certain deposit rates to
attract deposits, the Company has also utilized Federal Home Loan Bank Advances
and other borrowings to fund this growth. Such funding is typically more
expensive than lower cost customer deposits and compresses the net interest
margin, but increases net interest income by enabling the Company to grow
earning assets.
The mortgage banking segment continued to suffer from the effects of
higher mortgage rates, the inversion in the yield curve and, in some markets,
depressed inventories of homes. Due to the decline in volumes, the mortgage
company has reduced its noncommission personnel, closed several marginal loan
production offices, and opened two loan production offices in higher volume
locations in Connecticut and New Jersey. The first quarter is typically the
slowest in the mortgage segment and the Company anticipates the mortgage segment
will return to monthly profitability during the second quarter.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the first quarter of
2000 increased by 13.5% to $8.4 million from $7.4 million for the same period a
year ago. By managing its interest rate spread and increasing the volume of
earning assets over interest-bearing liabilities, the Company has been able to
maintain a strong net interest margin. The current interest rate environment and
competition for deposits continue to put pressure on net interest margins. In
addition, the subsidiary banks have periodically engaged in wholesale leverage
transactions, borrowing funds to invest in securities at lower margins of 150 -
200 basis points. Although such transactions increase net income and return on
equity, they do reduce the net interest margin. As of March 31, 2000 such
transactions accounted for $25 million of the Company's total borrowings. Also,
the Bank of Williamsburg, with most of its capital invested in the investment
portfolio much of 1999, contributed to the narrowed interest margin. However,
with more of its funds going into loans this year, it should begin contributing
to the margin. Average earning assets during the first quarter of 2000 increased
by $103.0 million to $777.0 million from the first quarter of 1999, while
average interest-bearing deposits grew by $40.0 million to $571.0 million over
this same period. The Company's yield on average earning assets was 8.29%, up 5
basis point from 8.24% a year ago, while its cost of average interest-bearing
liabilities increased 4 basis points from 4.42% in first quarter 1999 to 4.46%
in first quarter 2000.

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses totaled $564,000 for the first quarter of
2000, down from $762,000 for the first quarter of 1999. The provision for loan
losses for the first quarter of 1999 included $350,000 related to a single
credit relationship. These provisions reflect the performance of the loan
portfolio and management's assessment of the credit risk in the portfolio. (See
Asset Quality)
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 totaled
$2.5 million, down from $3.7 million for the same period a year ago. This
decrease is due principally to the decrease in income from gains on sales of
loans in the mortgage banking segment totaling $1.0 million for the first
quarter versus $2.5 million for the first three months of 1999. All other
categories of noninterest income for first quarter 2000 increased over the same
period in 1999 with deposit service charges up $114,000 and other service
charges and fees up $91,000, reflecting deposit growth and initiatives to
enhance fee income. Management continues to seek additional sources of
noninterest income, including increased emphasis on cross-selling services and
better leveraging the financial services available throughout the organization.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2000 totaled $8.1 million, an
increase of $747,000 over the same period in 1999. Personnel costs comprised
$135,000 of the increase and includes a decline of $141,000 for the mortgage
banking segment. Occupancy expense was up $211,000 and furniture & equipment
expense was up $267,000 over last year's first quarter. These increases reflect
a full quarter of expenses in 2000 for MCI (acquired February 10, 1999) and
depreciation expenses for major technology investments made in the second and
third quarters of 1999.
Financial Condition
- -------------------
Total assets as of March 31, 2000 were $860.2 million, an increase of
10.3% from $780.0 million at March 31, 1999. Asset growth was fueled by loan
growth, as loans totaled $570.5 million at March 31, 2000, an increase of 18.9%
from $480.0 million at March 31, 1999. Stockholders' equity totaled $70.5
million at March 31, 2000, which represents a book value of $9.40 per share.
14
Deposit growth was strong as the banks continued to increase market
share but was outpaced by the loan growth. Total deposits at March 31, 2000 were
$666.1 million, up 7.7% from $618.6 million at March 31, 1999. Other borrowings
totaled $117.6 million at March 31, 2000, an 82.3% increase over $64.5 million
at March 31, 1999. As a result, the Company utilizes other borrowings to fund
the excess growth; compressing the net interest margin but increasing net
interest income. The Company also, periodically engages in wholesale leverage
transactions to better leverage its strong capital position The increases in
other borrowings reflect about $25 million in leverage transactions over the
last five quarters. These wholesale leverage transactions have typically been
executed at spreads of approximately 150 to 200 basis points and, although they
have negatively impacted the Company's net interest margin (as a percentage),
they have had a positive effect on earnings and return on equity.
Continued competition for deposits, particularly as it impacts
certificate of deposit rates, is reflected in the deposit mix. Management
continues to focus on increasing lower cost deposit products, including
noninterest bearing demand deposits and savings accounts and effective
management of competitive rates on interest sensitive products. Increased
competition for funds by banks seeking to fund strong loan growth and by
non-banks, continues to contribute to a narrowing of the net interest margin,
which has been largely offset by increases in the volume of earning assets.
Asset Quality

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of an amount adequate to
provide for potential losses in the loan portfolio. General economic trends as
well as conditions affecting individual borrowers affect the level of credit
losses. The allowance is also subject to regulatory examinations and
determination as to adequacy, which may take into account such factors as the
methodology used to calculate the allowance and comparison to peer groups.
The allowance for loan losses totaled $7.0 million at March 31, 2000 or
1.23% of total loans, as compared to 1.22% at December 31, 1999 and 1.40% at
March 31, 1999.

At March 31, 1999, the allowance for loan losses included reserves of
approximately $1.4 million related to a single credit relationship totaling
approximately $1.8 million. Management has previously restructured this credit
with the borrowers in an attempt to work out repayment of this debt, but
collection is uncertain and accordingly, in late 1999 $1.1 million of this
credit was charged off against previously established reserves.
15
Capital Resources
- -----------------
Capital resources represent funds, earned or obtained, over which financial
institutions can exercise greater or longer control in comparison with deposits
and borrowed funds. The adequacy of the Company's capital is reviewed by
management on an ongoing basis with reference to the size, composition, and
quality of the Company's resources and consistency with regulatory requirements
and industry standards. Management seeks to maintain a capital structure that
will assure an adequate level of capital to support anticipated asset growth and
absorb potential losses.
The Federal Reserve, along with the Comptroller of the Currency and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, has adopted capital guidelines to
supplement the existing definitions of capital for regulatory purposes and to
establish minimum capital standards. Specifically, the guidelines categorize
assets and off-balance sheet items into four risk-weighted categories. The
minimum ratio of qualifying total assets is 8.0%, of which 4.0% must be Tier 1
capital, consisting of common equity and retained earnings, less certain
goodwill items.
At March 31, 2000, the Company's ratio of total capital to risk-weighted
assets was 12.05% and its ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was
10.93%. Both ratios exceed the fully phased-in capital requirements. The
following summarizes the Company's regulatory capital and related ratios at
March 31, 2000 (dollars in thousands):
Tier 1 capital $ 68,827
Tier 2 capital $ 7,044
Total risk-based capital $ 75,871
Total risk-weighted assets $630,076
Capital Ratios:
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio 10.93%
Total risk-based capital ratio 12.05%
Leverage ratio (Tier I capital to
average adjusted total assets) 8.26%
Equity to assets ratio 8.18%
The Company's book value per share at March 31, 2000 was $9.40.
Dividends to stockholders are typically declared and paid semi-annually in June
and December.
Liquidity
- ---------
Liquidity represents an institution's ability to meet present and
future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing
assets or the acquisition of additional funds through liability management.
Liquid assets include cash, interest bearing deposits with banks, federal funds
sold, investments (available for sale) and loans maturing within one year. The
Company's ability to obtain deposits and purchase funds at favorable rates
determines its liability liquidity. Additional sources of liquidity available to
the Company include its capacity to borrow additional funds when necessary
through Federal funds lines with several regional banks and a line of credit
with the Federal Home Loan Bank. Management considers the Company's overall
liquidity to be sufficient to satisfy its depositors' requirements and to meet
its customers' credit needs.
16
At March 31, 2000 cash, interest-bearing deposits in other banks,
federal funds sold, securities available for sale and loans maturing or
repricing in one year were 21.5% of total earning assets. At March 31, 2000
approximately $145.2 million or 25.4% of total loans would mature or reprice
within the next year. The Company utilizes federal funds purchased, FHLB
advances, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and customer repurchase
agreements, in addition to deposits, to fund the growth in its loan portfolio,
and to fund securities purchases, periodically in wholesale leverage
transactions.

(1) The repricing dates may differ from maturity dates for certain assets due
to prepayment assumptions.
(2) The Company has found that interest-bearing checking deposits and regular
savings deposits are not sensitive to changes in related market rates and
therefore, it has placed them predominantly in the "1-5 Years" column.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Earnings Simulation Analysis
Management uses simulation analysis to measure the sensitivity of net
interest income to changes in interest rates. The model calculates an earnings
estimate based on current and projected balances and rates. This method is
subject to the accuracy of the assumptions that underlie the process, but it
provides a better analysis of the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest
rates than other analysis such as the static gap analysis.
Assumptions used in the model, including loan and deposit growth rates,
are derived from seasonal trends and management's outlook, as are the
assumptions used to project yields and rates for new loans and deposits. All
maturities, calls and prepayments in the securities portfolio are assumed to be
reinvested in like instruments. Mortgage loans and mortgage backed securities
prepayment assumptions are based on industry estimates of prepayment speeds for
portfolios with similar coupon ranges and seasoning. Different interest rate
scenarios and yield curves are used to measure the sensitivity of earnings to
changing interest rates. Interest rates on different asset and liability
accounts move differently when the prime rate changes and are accounted for in
the different rate scenarios.
The following table represents the interest rate sensitivity on net
interest income for the Company using different rate scenarios as of March 31,
2000:
% Change in
Change in Prime Rate Net Interest Income
-------------------- -------------------
+200 basis points -0.62%
Flat 0
-200 basis points +0.31%
Market Value Simulation
Market value simulation is used to calculate the estimated fair value of
assets and liabilities over different interest rate environments. Market values
are calculated based on discounted cash flow analysis. The net market value is
the market value of all assets minus the market value of all liabilities. The
change in net market value over different rate environments is an indication of
the longer term repricing risk in the balance sheet. The same assumptions are
used in the market value simulation as in the earnings simulation.
The following chart reflects the change in net market value over different
rate environments as of March 31, 2000:
